I like the interior materials too, and especially the dash shelf. The entirely computerized system interface makes me uneasy. The third row seems useless enough to be a waste of what should be a bit more storage space.

The third row is pretty stupid, but luckily it's an option. It reminds me of the useless little jump seat we had in our old station wagon.... but then again we rode to a lot of campgrounds in those little crap seats when we were young'ins.

He doesnt need to, for the same reason he doesnt have to use anything better than his iPhone to make videos. People will still watch. I actually hated his early videos bc it sounded like he didnt know anything, and I really enjoyed his old Jalopnik articles... fact is, he knows all of it. He's a TV show host and producer, and he does what he has to to get hits and panders to his audience. After listening to a couple podcasts with him on it I realized that and appreciated the videos more.

Rage/Hate thread = say whatever you want (about the Defender)
Love Thread = say nice things
The moderation on these forums is the strangest I've seen anywhere on the net. Insane levels of content control in these threads (you are not enforcing rules, you are controlling content) and then allow people to break every forum rule in other threads.
Basically you are saying you only need to stay on topic for specific threads that you deem worthy which is randomly decided in a moderator game of darts. FYI, staying on topic is not within the forum rule list.

I believe you've confused arbitrary badges and outrage, although that is the point of this thread, with recognizing overwhelming evidence of correlation.

Overwhelming evidence of how backwards and ridiculous people still act in an era of technology making everything better.

You don't get it. Tech isn't the problem. It's how it's used and packaged. Anyways, how does JLR passing off what is objectively an LR5 with fake Defender styling, as an honest attempt at a Defender, have anything to do with tech? It doesn't.

Your 'overwhelming' evidence would be laughed out of any meeting in an R&D or marketing setting.

EricTyrrell: You guys are all idiots, this is a fake Defender.
Except they can't hear you, bc you're just typing on the internet. Please please please please PLEASE take a job in R&D and try this. Please. hahahahahhaahah

This is just like when Apple spends millions and MILLIONS of dollars in incredible R&D and put out a new phone.
Internet: It's the same damn phone just with a slightly nicer camera and slightly faster processor. THEY'RE TRYING TO RIP US OFF. And they program the batteries to fail in 2 years!
Yea dude, tell us about how much better you can do R&D work.

Keep going. Every bit makes it more clear you don't have a clue how any of this works.
